Quote:You'd be surprised. I know quite a lot of friends that prefers the older stuff over the newer stuff we have these days, and note that they're near my age range. You can say the same for music, people might prefer listening to stuff like Black Eyed Peas, but there are some individuals that might prefer listening to the Beastie Boys or Elvis. All preferences. True that the main demographic was for people around the 70's or 80's, but some people enjoys watching old stuff. I certainly do.
Yeah, but that's some. The point of this thread is to appeal to all, not some. Most people prefer the current stuff - that's why they're so popular!
Quote:Yeah, but you're comparing two different types of genres. Also, people still enjoy watching anime such as Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, because of it's storyline and more realistic details, in comparison to ... Gundam SEED. Seed was more recent, and I can find more people that hates Seed than I can find people that enjoys it. People would actually go out of their way to find older stuff once in a while.
It may be comparing different genres, but that's my point. People these days aren't as interested in huge machines fighting each other anymore. Code Geass may have been popular, but K-ON! is just as popular. Take The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya for example. That was arguably the most popular anime of the 2000s. The 1990s, on the other hand, were all about Eva. Nobody
I say SEED is an exception. Almost nobody likes SEED. People loved Wing, people loved Turn A Gundam, but few like SEED. Take 00 instead - that was a huge hit until the last few episodes where the crazy finale killed everything. Besides, Gundam is generally a retro series. People watch the old Gundam series (plural) because there just aren't many newer ones. SEED was a failure, and 00 was the only series in recent years (unless you count Unicorn, but that's an episode per ten years deal. When's the next episode coming out??).
